Forza 2 Gets New Date

But it's not as specific as you'd like

Posted by Staff
Forza Motorsport 2 has finally been given a North American release date. Microsoft Game Studios' next-gen racer will hit American shelves in May, according to the official game site's weekly update.

The awkwardly named Pitpass Report gives no exact date but states 'optimistic estimates have us at retail in the first half of May'. In response to the obvious question "when in May?" community manager Che Chou writes:

"Wait, so just May 2007? No exact release date? Not if we could help it. Our schedule right now has us hitting Xbox certification around the middle of April and going gold soon aftewards. We want them to put the game on shelves as soon and fast as they can humanly muster."


Forza 2 was originally slated for a release over Christmas but September saw the announcement that the game had slipped back to 2007.

SPOnG contacted Microsoft to see if May is when we Europeans will also see the game but is still waiting on a response.

Quite disappointing. I'm really looking forward to this game and they have also dropped some of the tracks I liked. I used to really like Blue Mountain :/
